• Identical current rating: 20A
• Identical filter type: Single Phase
• Identical configuration: Single Stage
• Identical operating frequency range: DC ~ 400Hz
• Identical mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Identical termination style: Quick Connect
• Identical operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 100°C
• Identical approval agencies: CSA, ENEC, UR

The FN2010-20-06 represents an active-status evolution within the Schaffner EMC line filter product family, providing functional equivalence for the obsolete FN610-20-06.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN2010-20-06 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete FN610-20-06. Both components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: voltage, current, filter topology, frequency range, mounting configuration, and termination method. The FN2010-20-06 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and inventory availability. Both parts carry equivalent regulatory approvals (CSA, ENEC, UR) and comply with environmental standards (RoHS, REACH). The inductance differential (600µH versus 480µH) reflects design evolution within the product family while maintaining functional equivalence for general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2010-20-06 directly replace the FN610-20-06 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FN2010-20-06 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the FN610-20-06, including voltage rating, current capacity, filter configuration, operating frequency range, mounting type, and termination style. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the significance of the inductance difference between these parts?

A: The FN2010-20-06 specifies 600µH inductance compared to 480µH for the FN610-20-06. This represents a design refinement within the product evolution. Both values are within the acceptable range for single-stage, single-phase EMC/EMI line filters at this voltage and current rating.

Q: Are regulatory approvals identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the FN610-20-06 and FN2010-20-06 carry identical approval agency certifications: CSA, ENEC, and UR. Both comply with RoHS and REACH requirements.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The FN610-20-06 is supplied without specified packaging designation, while the FN2010-20-06 is packaged in trays. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the FN610-20-06 classified as obsolete?

A: The FN610-20-06 has been superseded by the FN2010-20-06 within Schaffner's product line. The FN2010-20-06 represents the current active offering for this filtering specification and should be used for new designs and ongoing procurement.
